Resource Consumption in Additive Manufacturing with a PSS Approach

Research paper published at the  4th CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product-Service Systems, Tokyo, Japan, November 8th – 9th, 2012. Abstract Since the 1980’s, additive manufacturing (AM) has gradually advanced from rapid prototyping applications towards fabricating end consumer products. Many small companies may prefer accessing AM technologies through service providers offering production services as result-oriented Industrial Product-Service System (IPSS) rather...

Towards a framework for developing product/service systems

Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems. Abstract Increasingly, manufacturers become service providers rather than product providers. In this work, a framework based on industrial studies is suggested for developing product service system. The framework is represented by five life cycle phases where three actor categories views are represented. The framework...

Towards sustainability-driven innovation through product-service systems

Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems. Abstract Many current sustainability considerations in industry constrain design space by emphasizing reduced material and energy flows across product life cycles. However, there are also opportunities for sustainability awareness to extend design space and drive innovation. Product-service systems (PSS) in particular can be a...

People, Product and Process Perspectives on Product/Service-System Development

Book chapter published in “Introduction to Product/Service-System Design”. Abstract The adaptation of Product/Service-System calls for new development models. On one side this businesses give the manufacturing firm possibilities to redesign, upgrade and replace the discrete device that provides the performance their customers are asking for. On the other side, this new situation has to address aspects that are normally not...

Design for wellbeing

Abstract There is a growing need for engineering designers to engage in creative activities that result in innovative products and technologies for the benefit of society. However, from an engineering perspective, issues of ‘life quality’ are currently heavily under-prioritized, particularly with regard to people with disabilities. This paper argues that both needs and solutions are now part of the designer’s...
